Someone showed me a poem I wrote back when I was 14. The magic of it is that I believe it was written to be from someone else's perspective, yet it can very easily be taken as me saying something to someone. I thought it was great for how old it was so here you go: == "Warped" A Poem by Derek Oswald Why does nothing seem right? I just want to leave... this warped and twisted life that I am forced to live.... Why did u have to go and hurt me? No don't answer that... I don't believe a single word that you try to say.. If you truly loved me you would treat me right... and you wouldn't try to fuck with my emotions that... Are torn to un-connecting pieces that wont fit the puzzle.. That I am trying to build inside my fucked up head.. that has suffered too much pain........ Wait a minute I don't need.... All this bullshit that u constantly put me through.. And I wont take it because I don't deserve.. To be entangled in the web... That you've spun for me after all this.. Is said and done you will regret.. All you've done to me because I'm not.. The person that you thought I am I'm strong and I will.. Prevail through this you will not hurt me.. For you cannot control the feelings that only I can hold.. Get it through your head I've suffered worse shit then you.. Get it through your head I'm not going to take the shit you put me through.. Just leave me be myself That's the only thing I want to be, right now Just get it through, get it through, get it through I wont fall victim to your shit u try to do....... After the sleep-less night I rub my eyes and realize.. That all the pain I've felt shouldn't have been felt at all.. You wont get through to me again you can bet that's for sure... You won't waste another day of mine because you aren't worth my time.. Because I'm stronger then you'll ever be and you'll never ever hurt me.. For as long as I shall live because I'm invincible... [END]
Long time ago yes, but my metaphors were better back then :|. Only difference is that I said "u" a lot.
Wow. Bleeding amazing. I'm twelve and I write pathetic stuff...I can't imagine even being able to write poems like that in less than 5 years...wow.
